    @vitaly

    SECOND :)

    I agree with the links in particular, many of my clients for my ethical link building guide have been scammed by black hat SEOs or black hat link building software/services.

    Thanks

    Why do these videos keep showing up as several weeks ago when in fact they have just been posted? This one says 14th January 2011 but it just came into my RSS feed today and was definitely not up a couple days ago.

    i have a good one :D
    who do you guys “shutdown or stop” websites when you find something illegal?
    do you have the authority to just end it imidiatly or do you have to go through contacting the hosters.
    or do you just block it from showing anywhere on Google.
